Overview

What StarTap is

StarTap is a daily geography challenge built around famous faces and the locations connected to their stories. Each round presents a star and a clue; you determine where that person's story happened, spin, drag, and zoom a globe to find the spot, drop a pin, and lock it in. You receive a score of up to 1,000 points based on how close your guess is. The daily Today's Five contains five star questions, gives the same five stars to everyone, and offers a short format for testing your geography instincts. Beyond the daily set, themed worlds add more star/place puzzles, including Music, Sports, Screen, World Icons, and Tech & Innovation. There is also an Adventure of Wonders mode where you can meet stars and collect Wonder Stars, plus a Star Passport that records a stamp for every country you discover. The game is free, has no ads, requires no sign-up, and saves your scores and streaks in your browser. It is playable in any modern browser with touch, mouse, or keyboard, and the Android version is announced as coming soon to Google Play.

Getting started

How to play

Start by reading the clue about a famous person and think about the country or city where their story happened. Use the globe to spin, drag, and zoom until you reach the likely location, then drop a pin at your guess and lock it in to submit the answer. Each round scores up to 1,000 points based on how close your pin is to the real place. The daily Today's Five gives everyone the same five stars, so you can work through all five in one session. If you want more puzzles, choose one of the themed worlds such as Music, Sports, Screen, World Icons, or Tech & Innovation, or enter the Adventure of Wonders to collect Wonder Stars. Your Star Passport fills with stamps as you discover new countries.

Practical help

Tips

  1. Read the clue carefully before exploring; the person and their known story usually point to a country or city.
  2. Closer pins earn more of the 1,000 points per round, so zoom in and place the pin as precisely as you can.
  3. Beyond the daily five, themed worlds such as Music, Sports, and Screen offer many additional star/place puzzles.
  4. After a few plays, check your Star Passport to see which countries you have discovered so far.
